Vegetation Asset Weight Selector Component

The Vegetation Asset Weight Selector component uses the values of a gradient to select assets from a vegetation asset list. The assets can be sorted by weight prior to selection and the input gradient can be modified to affect the count and distribution of vegetation assets.
